Autism-World

Ask:

How do you know we want to be cured! What we want is society to be more understanding of us and help us get through not to cure us. If it it wasnt for people with with autism there would be no internet!Bill gates has a form of autism called aspergers. Its the same form that i have. we dont want to cured we just want to be accepted!

Answer:

That’s easy for you to say! You are high on the spectrum!

You can talk. You can communicate. You understand what people tell you.

IF you are a parent of a child who throws fits & she has no way of telling you why:
IF you had no way of explaining to a child what this “stange man in a white coat” is doing to her (her routine physical exam):
IF you couldn’t even give her a hug because the feeling of touch was torturous to her:
IF she would never look you in the eye, much less say “I love you”;
IF you lived in fear for your child’s life because she can’t comprehend the danger of moving cars, deep water or electricity;

Then you might be hoping for a cure – or at least some better treatment so the child isn’t totally isolated in her own head.

You don’t need a cure!
